INQUA and PAGES will conduct a four-day conference for early-career researchers, titled "Impacts of sea-level rise from past to future (iSLR18)", in Utrecht, The Netherlands, from 26-29 August 2018.

The conference aims to facilitate scientific exchange between ECRs from a broad range of disciplines who work on past sea-level reconstructions, future projections of sea-level change, drivers of sea-level change, impacts of sea-level change on past submerged landscapes and present coastal systems, and mitigation strategies that ensure the viability of ecosystems and populated areas.

The conference will include two days of oral and poster presentations by ECRs, invited keynote lectures, a one-day field excursion to the Rhine delta and Holland coastal plain with conference dinner, and a public 'Science and Society' evening session.
